Stress score - fēnix 3 measures your heart rate variability while standing still, for 3 minutes, to provide you with an estimated stress level. The scale of this is 1 to 100, low scores indicate lower stress levelsPerformance condition - After running for 6-20 minutes, fēnix 3 compares your real-time condition to your average fitness levelsLactate threshold - Through analysis of your pace and heart rate, fēnix 3 estimates the point where your muscles start to rapidly fatigueYou know your wayfēnix 3 HR provides comprehensive navigation and tracking functionalities to guide you on and off the beaten track. fēnix 3 records a GPS track log creating a “bread crumb trail” as you move.

About Outdoor GPS Units

GPS receivers are now made waterproof, lightweight and small enough to take outdoors and provide you with easy navigation and/or a detailed record of your journey. Most navigation units come with only very basic maps installed and you may need to purchase more detailed maps for your area to be loaded onto the unit. This can be done by purchasing a disk with a selection of maps to be downloaded via PC software, or with pre-loaded maps on storage cards for compatible units.

All electrical goods sold by Wiggle that include a mains power supply are supplied with a UK plug. Please check the product description to see if any other plugs are known to be included in the box, otherwise you may need an adapter for use in your country. Most power adapters will accept 110-240 Volts.

My first sports watchI was on the fence about whether to get the none HRM model but I have to say I made the right choice for what I am currently doing.
For running it works great and the HRM is pretty accurate and gives you a good idea of what is happening to your body in a quick glance. The wife uses it for open water which tracked well and recorded lots of useful information, although the HRM turns off in swim mode - you need the chest strap. I also use it for strength training as a custom exercise which is invaluable for me during the HIIT sessions.
It is a but chunky but it's all battery to see you through long events.

better then sapphire modelbrilliant watch. good features.
the HR function is worth getting if you can afford it. its good for monitoring metrics. strenuous activities need a proper HR band to be honest BUT still worth having.
definitely get one with a silver face not black. as soon as you scratch the black anodised model its scratches back to silver. the silver one will always be silver. much better.
don't worry about not getting the sapphire glass on this model. mineral glass is very tough, and you can get screen protectors if you really worry.
battery life much better then i thought it'd be too.
the rubber strap is very malleable making it extremely comfortable.

Poor GPSMy experience of the Fenix 3 with integrated HRM is that it is let down by unreliable GPS. The watch regularly drops GPS signal/cut corners and is not as reliable as my older forerunner 620. The Fenix 3 struggles to maintain GPS signal in light tree cover and the various navigation options offered by the watch do not appear to help (GLONASS, every second recording, etc.). There will always be some margin of error with watch GPS, but would not expect a watch this expensive to be outperformed by older and cheaper Garmin watches.

HRM strap compatibility?

I have a garmin 410 with heart rate strap, will the heart rate strap be compatible with the fenix 3? (I know the watch has a wrist based monitor but I want the accuracy of a heart rate strap)

Asked by: Welshrodney

The Fenix is compatible with the Soft Strap Premium Heart Rate Monitor, if this is the model you have then this will be compatible.

Compared to the model Garmin have on their own website, this model comes with at silver bezel and mineralglas instead of black bezel and saphireglas (https://buy.garmin.com/en-GB/GB/wearables/wearables/fenix-3-sapphire-hr/prod545480.html)

Does this version include the HRM strap needed for the other running dynamics not recorded by the optical HR unit?

The Garmin Fenix 3 will record running dynamics but you will need to purchase the Garmin HRM - Run to unlock this feature.
